TeVii S630 Satellite USB TV Tuner

This is an external DVB-S USB2 box.

Watch and record digital TV and radio on your PC, including digitally clear pictures for TV1, TV2, TV3, C4, TVNZ6, TVNZ7, Prime, Parliament TV, CUE, Stratos and Maori TV. (IE Turn a regular PC into a powerful PVR). You can plug the card into an old Sky dish for crystal clear pictures and sound.

All you need is a PC, a satellite dish aimed at the satellite you want, a cable, and you are set. (An old Sky dish works great for Freeview service).

Very sensitive tuner is great for receiving harder channels - like Chinasat 6b. Got a clear picture where I did not even get a lock with my previous cards.

Included software offers scheduled recording and time shifting function, preview, Teletext where
supported, EPG where supported and stereo.

Software for Windows 2000, Windows XP, VISTA and Windows 7 BDA drivers are available. Unlike the Internal models, THIS DOES NOT HAVE LINUX DRIVERS.

Card comes with Remote, IR connector, Windows software and manual.

Answers to Common Questions:

1. Card can pick up Freeview from a normal  Sky dish. They can also pick up other
channels on other satellite dishes with  the appropriate dish and lnb.
2. To the best of my knowledge the card can NOT be used to get Sky, even if you are a subscriber.
3. I am not sure if the software comes with Optus D1 preprogrammed. You may need
to add the satellite details in.
